Vanilla Monsters... i think they are worth looking at


BFG Studios

Recommended Posts

I know a lot of people now-a-days dont like vanillas, but I though I would make some for my set and I think they turned out good (for as good a vanilla can be)
I just want to know if they are balanced and good to use as Tributes and whatever else there is to use Vanillas for

I've seen some of those pics before but I like them.
For your first card, the description doesn't akin to a LIGHT monster if she's being controlled by [i]evil[/i] technology.
Leaving that aside, it would be amazing if it was real. A 2100 DEF monster that goes well with Machine Duplication and has vanilla support on its side hell yeah.
*stamps seal of approval here*

Overall I don't like your archer. Neither its pic, or its ATK status. Also, unlike cards 1 and 3, this card doesn't seem to have anything special to it.

Level 4 Zombie Vanilla Tuner with 2100 is overpowered not because of 1 of these in particular, but rather because of all these together.
-If it was just a Level 4 Zombie Vanilla Tuner with a very crappy ATK, it would be fine.
-If it was just a Level 4 Vanilla monster with 2100 ATK (or even as much as 2300) but not a Zombie and not a Tuner, it would be fine.
It just plain achieves in all its stats and vanillas have a specific range. My suggestion is that it either stops being a Tuner or at the very least it looses 1000 ATK. Being a Zombie Vanilla Tuner makes it too fast for recycle and revival, it can't also be that good ATK-wise.

Your Sea Serpent is (to me) the pic I've seen the most out of all of them, but also the one I like the most xD
Card stats are nothing special though. Description is ordinary too. Its not that great of a vanilla, but its existence seems acceptable and I'm one of those players that would use it just for the pic lol.

I like these cards and I still occasionally play with old vanillas, but these cards still lack some of the conditions to evade haters. Hate on vanilla threads comes with a reason.
It is stated that topics with vanillas must either:
a)contain a cleverly told story throughout the card set.
b)have [b]support[/b] that is not other vanillas (like Spells, Traps, Effect Monsters, Fusions, Synchros, Xyz, etc. that works with your vanillas)
c)in some other [x] way make your vanillas contribute to the game in an amusing way.

Half of your cards get my thumps up on it, but the Archer and the Sea Serpent don't really count.

:D very cool pictures in the ygo video-games I always create a Vanilla Deck, I love the description in the cards, I like effects but a Vanilla tells you a story about the monster and I love it

Thats why i like them too... i love writing stories, and in this case, i really like cramming a lot of a good story into such a small space :)

only the 1st is a bit OPed

2100 def is nothing unheard of for lv4, but being a vanilla is somewhat rare, maybe lower the def just a tad?

Nah, it's rare, but it does exist, like Renge, Gatekeeper of Dark World. I don't think it has to be changed if he doesn't want it to be. I really like them too. But Renge only has 100 ATK, so I don't know, maybe the ATK is a bit much? But it's not something that you would usually keep in ATK position, so I don't know, I think it's fine.

Here's the objection to that:

2100 DEF, Level [b]1[/b]

i guess i'll lower the ATK because A) This card is ment to be a good defense, and B) I've always pictures technology to be strong in one way or another, and in this case it is DEF

Vannilas FTW!

Please do not post cards in other people's threads. It's against the rules and is frowned upon.

Anyway, nice creative vanillas here. Some of them could use with little buffs to be playable, but all around okay.

I'm still very amazed.
Not only did you get no hate-comments in a thread with only Normal Monster that are not particularly linked together through strategy or card description, but you also have gotten 20 comments so far.

You are one of my heroes now ^0^
(+rep)

To stay on topic. Your new FIRE monster is balanced and all. Although I'd rather like it with about 1000 [b]less[/b] because of this card:
http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Rekindling

but that's nothing that [i]]b]has[/b][/i] to be done. Card is still good as is (just personal preference xD ).
Keep up the work.

You know, this has been on the first page for a while, so I decided to look at it.

These are pretty good for Vanillas, and if they were real they would probably be put in Starter Deck's because of their simplicity.

I still wonder, though, why "Archangel of Technology" is LIGHT when she is possessed...but that is irrelevant.

9.2/10
